Abstract

A wheelchair platform (1) comprises a tilting platform (2) for a wheelchair comprising a base (4) to support the wheelchair in use and a back wall (6). The platform (2) is pivotably connected between a pair of side supports (8) in a compact construction. Actuating means such as hydraulic rams are operable to tilt the platform (2). The pivot axis for the platform (2) is forward of the back wall (6) and above the base (4). The actuating means is also forward of the back wall (6). The platform (2) swings forward when tilting. The base (4) may be hinged approximately half way along its length to allow the front half (16) to be folded over for storage.
